The subunit structure of horse spleen apoferritin: the molecular weight of the oligomer and its stability to dissociation by dilution (Short Communication)

Abstract
The oligomer molecular weight of horse spleen apoferritin was determined by sedimentation-equilibrium techniques and a value of 443000 found. It is concluded that the apoferritin molecule consists of 24 subunits. At concentrations as low as 0.01μm there is no evidence of subunit dissociation.
